There’s no denying that Spider-Man is one of the most popular characters in the Marvel Comic Book Universe, while the character has met its ups and downs over the years, it took Marvel to the next level. Though the character has faced criticism, it has always managed to jump back. Throughout the years, numerous renowned creators have worked on the character Stan Lee, Steve Ditko, John Romita Sr., Gerry Conway, Gil Kane, and so many more.

However, there was one creator who came immensely close to producing a graphic novel featuring Spider-Man. The creator is none other than Grant Morrison, who has showcased his creativity and talents in renowned DC comic-book heroes like Batman and Superman. Morrison had come immensely close to work on the Wall-crawler, which almost made Parker the biggest anti-hero in the Marvel Universe and it is something that the fans never saw it coming.

Grant Morrison Almost Came Close To Creating The DarkestSpider-ManStory

Grant Morrisonis one of the most renowned talents who has contributed his skills and creativity to the DC comics as he has worked in the comics featuring the popular DC superheroes, Superman and Batman. However, Morrison had once come immensely close to working with Marvel that too for Spider-Man. The story would not have followed a typical storyline featuring Peter Parker as the Web-Slinger, as Morrison wanted Parker to walk down a darker path similar to DC Watchmen’s Rorschach.

However, everything would have been resolved as the imposter would have teamed up with Spidey and stopped Mysterio to save the day. However, the question would have remained “We’re left to wonder if the whole thing was a Mysterio-induced delusion… and which of the two Spider-Mans experienced it!” While the idea is immensely intriguing this idea never came to life and it is possibly likely to stay so.

“In some alternate Marvel universe, Romita never came on board, Stan gave Ditko free reign and Objectivist ideas were increasingly given dramatic form in mid-’60s Spider-Man stories!”

Morrison wanted to explore Ditko’s Objectivist views, which later became the main reason to provide inspiration to DC’s Rorschach in Watchmen. The artist claims the story would have ended with the Ditko Spider-Man having “the potential to turn into Rorschach!” Though the proposed idea was intriguing, it is heartbreaking to learn that the comic book would never be released.
